Oww my, it is a nice one. I thinking arcade controllers set it the panel and that would go nice in your entertainment room. I've seen a few of those but most are not as dressed up as that one. Bloody nice score BKO.

Either way. A nice set of speakers bolted on with an amp would make a fine Jukebox. Best thing about this setup either way is that is so much more portable that a standard cab. Set of rollers on the bottom back edge, (if it doesn't already), and it would be a "piece of piss" to move around.

It has rollers on the cast alloy X base and also has speakers and a sub built in , i'll get some more pics but there is a pcb in a housing with pots and other adjustments.

That is very nice BKO, sweet score there mate. I want to make an xbox arcade thing sometime soon, I think it may have been you or NextHalo that posted a pic on the old forum of a cocktail style cabinet that was basically an old beer/wine barrel. I really need to find somewhere I can get a wooden barrel from, that was a great idea and should be reasonably portable (ok not portable enough to take on my holidays with me but I could take it into the garden in BBQ weather

)
Anyone know where I can get a wooden barrel from in the UK?

The green glow of that badass stand matches the green pool behind it (if i see right)

I'm a pool guy by day but i noticed the pool second, that stand is freaking sweet man, nice find.

It doesnt look too bad from what i see. Shock the piss out of it and let it filter. Just curious what kind of filter and pump do you use on that badboy?

An aussie made Davey 1hp pump and a sand filter along with a chlorine dispenser, chlorine dispenser has made the world of difference , once i worked out the dosage i just keep it filled with 200g stabilised tablets and dont do anything else apart from the odd leaf scoop.
